Mountain Lion Spotted Inside Riverton City Limits

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Police officers in the central Wyoming city of Riverton chased off a mountain lion that had made its way into a city park.

Several people reported seeing the animal before 7 a.m. Monday.

Police believe the cat may have been attracted by the presence of mule deer grazing in nearby alfalfa fields.

The cat was last seen headed into the surrounding hills outside the city.
